Every client has its own directory entry under ../db/images so every client
ever backed up would be:

"ls /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/"

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Browsing the catalog for old hosts


Greetings and Mele Kalikimaka!

This might have been covered before, but is there a way to browse the
catalog and pull out a list of all the hosts that have ever been backed
up from the beginning of time? 

I've gotten a request from someone for a restore, but they are uncertain
of the name of the host. Since the backups took place over three years
ago, it's before my time at this company and the backups could quite
possibly have been done on a different host, hostname, network, or even
a different backup system (which I need to find out). Since I don't know
the name of the host, I have no way to enter it in the Source Client
field to browse the backups. 

Maybe something like bpcatlist, but that seems to still require host or
policy names....

NB 4.51_FP6, Solaris

Thanks, as always.
